Why are pavers a good choice for outdoor areas in Western Australian Homes?
Well-planned paving impacts on both the look and the value of your home.
With outdoor living and entertainment being such a major part of most West Australian's lifestyle it's important to consider the type of design and finishes for these outdoor areas. Colours, texture and quality of materials are so important as you plan. And pavers are probably the most cost effective and practical way to achieve the look you want.

If you're planning a patio to adjoin your main living area, choose a paver of a similar colour to the adjacent interior flooring, as co-ordination will make both spaces appear larger and provide a smooth, visual flow from inside to out.

Advice for people shopping for pavers
There are two main factors to consider when shopping for pavers: Use and looks.

You probably already have an idea of the look you want, but there are a few other considerations. It's important that you choose a paver that will give you many years of high performance and low maintenance. For example, a driveway needs at least a 60mm thick paver, whereas for a footpath or pedestrian areas only requires a 40mm thick paver - which will save you money. And then there's the difference between clay and cement, or masonry, pavers and question if that affect your choice?

It's at this stage you'll probably need some professional advice, and you'd be surprised how a little time invested, talking to with a Midland Brick Sales Advisor can save you money and challenges down the track.
